1 BBC LEARNING ENGLISH 6 Minute Grammar Future perfect continuous This is not a word-for-word transcript Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Grammar with me,. And me,. Today s programme is all about the future perfect continuous tense. We ll tell you when to use it How to form it And how it differs from the future perfect tense. Let s start with an example of the future perfect: This time next year, I ll have finished my course. Here, the action - finishing the course - will be completed before a particular time in the future this time next year. OK. And now for the future perfect continuous: In January, I ll have been studying for three years. bbclearningenglish.com Page 1 of 5

2 Here, the action studying - goes right up to the specified time and will probably continue afterwards. So, we use the future perfect continuous rather than the future perfect when we want to focus on the continuous nature of the activity and how long it will be going on for. We often use the future perfect continuous with for plus an amount of time. So, in the earlier example, we had for three years. Let s have some more examples of the future perfect continuous: Tomorrow I ll have been working here for six months. In July we ll have been living in Dubai for two years. By the time the bus gets here, we ll have been waiting over an hour. Notice that the last example didn t have for, as we don t always have to include it. Now, we usually use a time phrase with both tenses to state the particular time in the future. These often start with by or in. Listen to these examples: By 2020 the city s population will have doubled. In June I ll have been unemployed for five months. You can use by or in with any future day, date, month, season or special day. For the future perfect continuous, the time phrases sometimes begin with in or on: On Sunday, he ll have been travelling for three weeks. We often use when or by the time in time phrases with both tenses. Listen to these examples: bbclearningenglish.com Page 2 of 5

3 When your train gets in, we ll have been waiting for over two hours. By the time you get home, the chicken will have been cooking for two hours. By the time you get back, we ll have had dinner. Notice that when and by the time are followed by a verb. This verb is in the present simple, not the future. Now, as well as predicting future events and situations, we can also use the future perfect and future perfect continuous to say what we imagine might or might not have happened: They won t have arrived yet. They only left twenty minutes ago. Sam didn t come home last night. He ll have been working all night to finish his report. In the first example, we assume that they haven t arrived yet, based on the knowledge that they only left 20 minutes ago. And in the second example, we imagine that Sam has been working all night because he didn t come home last night. We form the future perfect with subject plus will or won t plus have and the past participle of the main verb. By the summer I ll have finished all my exams. The film won t have started yet. For the future perfect continuous, it s subject plus will or won t plus have plus been plus the present participle. They won t have been watching the match as they are on holiday. For future perfect questions, it s will or won t plus subject plus have plus the past participle. bbclearningenglish.com Page 3 of 5

4 Will you have managed to read all the reports by this afternoon? Asking questions in the future perfect continuous is more usually done with question tags, so the order is the same as for statements. He won t have been working all day, will he? Question words can also be used in which case it s will plus subject plus have plus been plus present participle. What will they have been talking about? IDENT 6 Minute Grammar from BBC Learning English We're talking about the future perfect continuous tense. To recap, we use the future perfect continuous to talk about something that will be going on at a particular time in the future Or to say what we assume has or hasn t already happened. Now it's time for our quiz. Which is correct a or b. Are you ready? Let's go. Number one. a) It s only six o clock. They won t have arrived yet. b) It s only six o clock. They won t have been arriving yet. And this one is a). bbclearningenglish.com Page 4 of 5

5 Correct. Number two. a) On Tuesday I ll have been worked here for two years. b) On Tuesday I ll have been working here for two years. And this one is b). That s right. Finally, number three. a) When you will visit, we ll have been living here for six months. b) When you visit, we ll have been living here for six months. And this one is b) as well. Correct.
